    Mario Kart 7 steering wheel peripheral revealed for Nintendo 3DS

    It seems that I spoke too soon about the 3DS not becoming the Wii. It appears that Nintendo has abandoned hope for the Nintendo 3DS’ portable capabilities because Andriasang recently found a new attachment which can be added on to your Nintendo 3DS to make all those racing games just a bit more easier. It is a very stylish, impossible to fit in your pocket Hori Mario Kart 7 steering wheel.

    The attachment which has been sponsored by Nintendo will cost ¥1,280 or $17 and will attach to the back of the 3DS handheld to provide better handgrips one would suppose, as well as easier control over the tilt-to-steer mechanics the game will offer. Just don’t carry this around in public, please.

    Circle Pad Pro trademarked; possible name for 3DS Slide Pad in North America?

    0

    Despite Nintendo not announcing a release of the 3DS Expansion Slide Pad, which adds a second circle pad to the 3DS, outside of Japan, Capcom already has stated that the add-on will be available next year for Resident Evil: Revelations. It seems all the more likely now that this peripheral will be released in the West, especially after Siliconera dug up a new Japanese trademark.

    The trademark is for a Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro, which would most likely be the name of the new add-on if it were released in the West. Of course at this time, this is all speculation as companies have trademarked things in the past and never done anything with the name, but it is all the more likely that Nintendo will soon have a peripheral for the 3DS… at least there aren’t a bunch of strange peripherals besides this one.

    Batman: Arkham City ships 4.6M, 2M sold in first week

    When Batman: Arkham City was announced, I’m sure no one thought that it would be a poor selling title, but nobody thought that it would be as successful as quickly as it has been so far. Warner Bros. has revealed that their next venture in the Caped Crusader’s journey has done extremely well in the marketplace, shipping 4.6 million units in the first week and selling over 2 million copies in that time.

    With it’s predecessor title being extremely well made, and this one being better than the original in nearly every way, these sales aren’t very surprising. It is interesting to note that the first game, Arkham Asylum, sold 4.3 million copies. So if the rest of the shipped copies sell, then the sequel will surpass the original in sales as well as content.
